What really pisses me off is when there is no ToC metadata (so nothing appears in the menu) and the inline ToC list is not linked.

The thing is, the link would only be for the chapter header. So if you are in the middle of a chapter, it's a lot easier to bring up the external ToC then it is to find a link or find the internal ToC. It takes me three presses to go to the external ToC from anyplace inside the book. That is not what I would call a hardship. But having the Chapter header linked back to an internal ToC does not look as nice as not having that link. Also, it takes extra screen turns to get past the internal ToC. And in some eBooks that have a very large number of chapters, that can be a lot of extra page turns. If we don't need/want to use the ToC, the external ToC does not get in the way at all. If we do need/want to use it, the external ToC is better.
